Invoice dated Feb 2021 — current charges to be confirmed. The phone system itself isn't on this bill; it's Alandale's own hardware.

Out of support

The MyPBX

The box routing your calls is a Yeastar MyPBX — two generations superseded, so no firmware and no security patches. Alandale-owned, on no invoice, and replacing it is overdue rather than years away.

Worth doing regardless: confirm international dialling is barred. An unpatched PBX is the standard toll-fraud target, and your statement shows two international attempts at zero duration.

It's already failing

"The main reception console is playing up. Seems to have trouble initialising in the mornings. I have my fingers crossed."

Janice Appleton, Financial Controller

A console that won't come up at start-up usually points at the system failing to answer it on boot, not the handset. We diagnose it on the first visit.
